Mobility Lens Suite: Explore the future of mobility

When can you expect sales of EVs to surpass those of internal combustion engine vehicles in Europe? Can you estimate when EV sales will surpass 50% globally? You get a window into the answers through the EY Mobility Lens Forecaster, a modeling tool that harnesses the power of AI to gauge the outlook for the supply and demand of mobility products and services through 2050.

Our automotive analysts and data scientists built the Mobility Lens Forecaster on a neural net model to analyze several variables from over 30 sources that influence mobility supply and demand: consumer behavior, regulatory trends, technology evolution (vehicle and ecosystem) and the announced strategies of manufacturers. The model is updated regularly with new market inputs, including disruptions and available technology. As its predictions are matched up against actual outcomes, the model adjusts its calculations, essentially becoming smarter and more accurate over time.

This semiannual index ranks 10 countries across the world on how they’re advancing toward an EV future, based on three pillars: supply, demand and public policy. A comprehensive list of 24 metrics encompassing the EV ecosystem and value chain are weighted in the analysis — for example, consumer preferences on sustainability at the individual level, all the way to the macroeconomic environment.

The analysis aims to help cross-sector players — such as automakers, energy leaders and governments — understand and compare the drivers and inhibitors of EV readiness of different countries and prioritize markets accordingly, labeling them as leaders, aspirants or followers.

Wish you could follow all the players and the big bets they’re making to see how markets are developing? The Investment Analyzer tracks investments and M&A activities of industry incumbents and those from outside the traditional automotive sector — for the current quarter back to 2014. The data is broken down into the market for investment (such as connected or autonomous vehicles and shared mobility) as well as the stage of the type of capital.

It could help you to understand which innovative mobility companies have garnered investor interest and how players from outside the traditional automotive ecosystem are shaping their portfolio to have a piece of the growing mobility pie.
